Hello all! Has anyone else experienced terrible battery life?

I have only had the phone since • 9/30/2022

The battery Maximum Capacity is already down to• 86%

When it reaches 80% Apple will replace it

The phone constantly says that it cannot charge until it • cools down

When you fast charge an iPhone it gets very warm (Physics rules, specifically the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics), so the phone stops charging around 80% to cool off; it then resumes at a lower rate of charge. This is completely normal. All iPhones that fast charge stop at 80% (all smartphones, not just iPhones), but it’s only been since iOS 16.5 was released that it tells you what it’s doing.

The phone• dies while plugged in during Facetime calls

Not normal, and probably not a battery problem; some other hardware problem, unless by “plugged in” you mean a 5 watt cube power source. It should not happen with a 10 watt or higher power source.

It sounds as though your iPhone needs a new battery. The cost of a new battery would be small compared to the inconvenience you are experiencing. Apple recommends a new battery when Battery Health reaches 80%. I have no idea why your battery is dying, but the best option is to replace it. You should make an appointment at the nearest Apple Store for Battery Replacement...
